Jeevan Pramaan

This topic briefs about Jeevan Pramaan, a Digital Life Certificate for pensioners.

Contents

Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric enabled digital service for pensioners. Pensioners of Central Government, State Government or any other Government organization can take benefit of this facility. The scheme was launched on November 10, 2014. The beneficiaries of the scheme are over a crore retired employees of government and PSUs.

One of the major requisite for the pensioners post their retirement from service, is to provide life certificates to the authorized pension disbursing agencies like Banks, Post offices etc., following which their pension is credited to their account. In order to get this life certificate the individual drawing the pension is required to either personally present oneself before the Pension Disbursing Agency or have the Life Certificate issued by authority where they have served earlier and have it delivered to the disbursing agency.

Using Jeevan Pramaan, a pensioner can now digitally provide proof of his/her existence to authorities for continuity of pension every year instead of requiring to present himself/herself physically or through a Life Certificate issued by specified authorities.

How it works

Jeevan Pramaan uses the Aadhaar platform for biometric authentication of the pensioner. A successful authentication generates the Digital Life Certificate which gets stored in the Life Certificate Repository. The Pension Disbursing Agencies can access the certificate on-line.

Life Certificate : After a successful authentication a SMS acknowledgement is sent to your mobile number including your Jeevan Pramaan Certificate ID. The certificates are stored in the Life Certificate Repository for making it available any time and any where for the pensioner and the Pension Disbursing Agency. Pensioner has to inform to the Bank that his Jeevan Pramaan has been generated through online registration from Jeevan Pramaan portal.

Access your Certificate : You can download a PDF copy of the certificate from the Jeevan Pramaan website by providing the Jeevan Pramaan ID or Aadhaar number.

Which banks support Jeevan Pramaan? My mom's bank is in Punjab, and they have not even heard of Jeevan Pramaan,

Are there any banks with a higher awareness of Jeevan Pramaan? We would move her pension to whichever bank supports this.

Thanks for your help!

I am a railway pensioner receiving the pension through State Bank of India till December 2016.I have sent the life certificate through the Indian consulate at Torando, Canada. as I am living with my daughter here since two years. The life certificate was authenticated by the Consular General of India. My complaint against the non crediting of pension to my account on several times gone the deaf years of the pension disbursing authority ie State Bank of Travancore, now State OF India. NO PENSION since 8 months. Harassing the pensioners. Earlier system was very comfortable. WHAT TO DO NEXT.
